Theory Test Info

My birthday is on December 3rd and my insurance runs out ~13th December. The ideal plan is to take my theory on my birthday, have a few tests during the week, then take my test!

Problem is though, I am guessing you have to get your theory before you take your big test. So, can you take your theory test at 16? As I presume there is a 2 week or so waiting list to take your test and ideally I want to renew my insurance on a bigger bike...

Can anyone confirm?

Yes you can, I am sure some one older and wiser will come along with a link to prove it but I am too lazy to look, as are you Wink

I did my theory test at 16 so yeah you can. Did it a good few weeks before I turned 17 as well. Thumbs Up

I was under the impression that with a car you could take your theory test up to 3 months before your 17th birthday. Probably the same with a bike.

Chinese whispers though, I don't know any of that for a fact.

Aye but the motorcycle entitlement isn't valid until 17 so you don't want to be doing a moped theory or anything. Neutral

i did my theory about 2 weeks ago and im 16, 17 in may. just make sure you select entitlement A for motorcycles. i didnt realise i could do it until i read this paragraph right at the bottom of a page on the dvla website, which said any person currently holding a provisional license can do their theory test but they must be 16. hope this answers your question Smile

There is a moped test right? For when you want to ride a 50 without Ls? Which you can take at 16? And involves a theory test? Then I would, indeed, expect you to be able to take a theory test at 16.
